* **Notes:**
*No Invitation email is sent, instead a password will be automatically created for the Users. To login Users will first have to retrieve their password via the [Password Reset Page](https://logentries.com/user/password-reset/)

*You can only add Users to an Account of which you are the Owner of and of which you have the Owner API Key.
